One example is kernel density estimation,ĭiscussed in the density estimation section. There are many learning routines which rely on nearest neighbors at theirĬore. Minkowski metrics are supported for searches. The classes in sklearn.neighbors can handle either NumPy arrays or It is often successful in classification situations where the decision Handwritten digits and satellite image scenes. Large number of classification and regression problems, including (possibly transformed into a fast indexing structure such as aĭespite its simplicity, nearest neighbors has been successful in a Learning methods, since they simply “remember” all of its training data Neighbors-based methods are known as non-generalizing machine The distance can, in general, be any metric measure: standard Euclidean On the local density of points (radius-based neighbor learning). The number of samples can be a user-definedĬonstant (k-nearest neighbor learning), or vary based Of training samples closest in distance to the new point, and The principle behind nearest neighbor methods is to find a predefined number Learning comes in two flavors: classification for data withĭiscrete labels, and regression for data with continuous labels. Notably manifold learning and spectral clustering. Is the foundation of many other learning methods, Supervised neighbors-based learning methods.

Sklearn.neighbors provides functionality for unsupervised and
